| 201219 | 9758 | CJ Nelson Outlier reviews? | 31 | jory | Mar 13, 2021 | 2021-03-13T04:30:02-0500 | I haven’t ridden a vacquero but I have had my outlier side by side with one. They are very similar! The bottom contours on the vaquero are more pronounced but similar. You never hear a bad word about a vaquero, they are like hens teeth in the uk though so wasn’t an option for me. The parallax is much more of a longboard style template in comparison but I guess similar bottom. I’ve seen footage of cj on andreinis years ago so wouldn’t surprise me if a lot of flavour came from that direction As said above, it’s a variation on an established theme. I do think the outlier has been designed to be quite neutral and easy to surf and perhaps feels a bit less hully than the vaquero (which itself is always touted as a user friendly hull design). They are both definitely attempts to take some of that late 60’s era stuff and apply some modern principles to make them work better |
